Style

Hygge is a Danish word used when acknowledging a feeling or moment; making the ordinary extraordinary….making the normal special.

I believe in capturing your day to look like it is ​true to being there​. I want the viewer to feel like they were there.

It’s about a feeling.​ It’s about all the tiny elements that are placed together to create one magical day. I want the viewer of my work to look at the photos and feel as if they are there, experiencing the moment for the first time.

I believe in capturing all those beautiful details that have been selected, created and curated by my clients. Their wedding day is an expression of who they are and I believe that all the little details should be honoured.

I also believe in capturing tiny moments between bride and groom, dad and daughter, or friends having a giggle in the corner. I would describe my style as capturing the entire day, in all its essence from the gorgeous shoes that the bride has selected and that make her feel beautiful, right through to the tears that are being shed by mom in the front pew.

I believe in tradition!​ I capture portraits as well as moments because tradition is important to me. I want my photographs to stand the test of time. You should love and cherish them in 30 years’ time as much as you do now! I also believe in ​capturing moments​! Some things should never be staged. It is about getting the ​ balance right​!

PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ME

Rosalind & Dylan

Wesley is without doubt the most fantastic photographer we could have ever asked to share our day with. From the first time we met him we immediately felt comfortable and at ease. His fantastic wit and sense of humor really connected with ours which was very important to us. We love to have a good laugh and we really wanted to enjoy every single moment of our wedding day, so we felt at peace knowing that our photographer would be able to grasp and capture those sneaky, witty, cheeky & fun moments. Wesley captured our day exactly as we so fondly remember it; all the joy, laughter, love, radiance, special and cheeky memories. We are so grateful to have had such a professional, efficient, organised, fun and talented artist like Wesley capture the beauty of our wedding day.

Christi & Philip

Wesley's images of our wedding almost 6 years ago are still my most prized possession. My idea of the perfect image is one that captures raw emotions, and that is exactly what we got from Wesley. His ability to capture the simplest connection between loved ones was beautifully visible.
